Night Adventure

Chris wrote about this in an email, so I’ll just quote him:

Went out to the beach the other night with the torch to see if we could see fish, etc. I was wading in the water when suddenly I saw a snake eel. Bloody hell it scared the hell out of me, and I was out in a flash. I'd seen them before and they were scary then, but at night and being in the water as well was worse. My mind knew what it was, but the body wasn't convinced. Those buggers look like sea snakes, man. Let's just say I'm not wading in the water at nighttime anymore. But I will set up a burley bag one night and see what gets attracted to it. Worked real well when we went snorkelling at the marine reserve. Heaps of fish, some looked like trevally, and I got a wee nip by one.
